Interests to be United.
A st. Louis paper tells Of a scheme to COZ.
c~entrate ali the cattle interests Of the north
west and form a company which shall control
sl5, coo, 600 worth Of cattle and grazing land.
1t seems to have originated with the Wyom.
ing Stock association Of Cheyenne, ard Is the
outerowth Of the combination of the smaller
cattle men into companies, which has been
going on for several years. This scheme
has been formed for organizing the largest
cattle company ever known, controlling
hundreds Of thousands Of cattle and ranges
larger than many states. The failure
of the Swan Bros. brought matters to a focus
rather Unexpectedly. The plan is TO unite
the Wyoming, Colorado, eastern Utah,
western Nebraska, southern Montana and
southern Dakota interests into one gigantic
company, c&ca absolutely =rTrenarring its
individual herd ana ranch, and receiving a
prOportionate amount of stock in return.

followed the Indian territory sales rendered
i'm possible. Periodical depressiuns, ]neccssi-

at times, and this consolidation will, in a
great measure, II not entirely, relieve this
Fear of disastrous consequences Of the Swan
failure compelled the cattlemcn 80 take
immediate action, aud delegates were
sent to New York, London and
Edinburgh TO impress upon the capitalists 81

There are connected with the enterprise Sur

and Ulrichs and Havemeyer, OF New York, TO

and some from Boston and Philadelphia.
Those gentlemen already control fully half
the stock in Wyoming, and have the support
Of nearly al the rest OF that territory. The
cattle will be apportioned to the ranges the
water supply fairly divided, and the produc-
tive region largely increased.

A CELESTIAL ROBBED.
A Well-knOWn Hickman the Ac-
cused RObber.

About II o'clock last night, sensa-
ton was created at the bottom end OF
Main Street, by the robbery of China
man under peculiar and somewhat des
perate circumstances. The heather,
Charley Tong, who has been a cook at
the st. James Hotel for some time,
was induced to take ride
in a hack by hackman,
named Charles Wilson, on the pretense
of going 20 the depot; but instead, the
driver took his live freight to the inter-
section of Eighth South with Main
Street, to tent occupied by the motor
ious Caldwell Brothers, and there tied
the almost helpless son of Contuscius,
nearly stripped him, and took from him
$102. 70, and made an attempt to murder
him with a butcher knife, but he
was deferred from perpetratihg this
latter deed by his victim and his
own wife calling out loudly for
help. This was the Chinaman's
story when taken to the City Hall, and
his statement was partly corroborated
by three boys who met him after his
escape from Wilson's clutches. The
boys found Tong wandering about,
shoeless, half dressed and bleeding
from his fingers, which had been cut, he
said. in preventing Wilson from
cutting his throat, and were bring
ing him up town when A. M. Paul, on
his way home, met them near the scene
of the robbery and returned to hunt for
Wilson. He proceeded to the tent, but
on asking where her husband was, Mrs.
Wilson replied evasively. Mr.. Paul
then searched around and in stable
about 300 yards distant discovered Will
son under a lot of blankets, and took
him in charge to the City Hall, where he
was lodged for the night. The money
was not recovered, but clue was OBJ
tanned by which trace of it may be had
this morning and the story of the rob
berry substantiated. Investigations
were in progress as we went to press
this morning,
The boys names are George Angel,
Robert Piercey and N. e. Anderson.
The case promises developments which
Will undoubtedly be interesting.

Spencer Speaks.

LONDON, October 28.-Earl Spencer,
speaking at Bedford, to-day, said there
was no doubt the extreme men, both in
England and Ireland. were ready to
commit dynamite outrages in order to
effect their purpose, but there was
nothing more mischievous than to at
tempt to confuse the Irish in one body
by mixing up the party of Parnell with
the dynamiters. (Cheers.) He was
happy to think that such efforts had
failed, The Parnellites had no greater
enemy than O'Donovan Rosa aud
his crew. (Hear! hearD If
the liberal policy of Cancellation
prevailed, it would end their abomin,
able crimes, but if coercion prevailed
for any length of time, he saw the
greatest danger from secret societies
reviving and extremists with dynamite
coming to the front. The present Lib
eral policy was not founded on despair,
unless it were despair of the old, worm
out method. It was a policy bright
with hope IN the future, of confidence
in the result, and of reliance on the
Irish people in throwing upon them
the responsibility of governing their
own country. (Cheers.)

joyed during the short time they re =
manned in Salt Lake. Mr.. Ats brother.
who resides in New York. also writes
under q late date, that he has heard
nothing but praise for the Salt Lake
people, and the universal verdict
seemed to be that nowhere in their long
tour from ocean to ocean, did they re-
ceiye heartier welcome, nor were they
more Hospitality entertained. Savage Q
views of Csppa's band, the Vets, TIE
Salt Lake firemen and the public in the
rear. taken on the pier at Garfield
Beach, are highly priced as mementoes
of their visit, and are eagerly sought
for. It is safe to say the Veterans and
their guests will visit Salt Lake again at
the first opportunity-if not in body,
at least Individually.

Teemer Wins.

LAKE MARANAcooK, October 28.-
Teemer won the race. Teemer's time,
2O.28 3-5; Gaudaur's time was not
taken. He was half a mile behind and
padded home.
The weather was very favorable for
the race this morning, and when the
referee gave the word to go the con-
testants sped away in good shape, and
the race for the first mile was all that
the spectators could wish, but Teemer
soon showed his superiority over his
rival and drew away from him. Gau-
daur tugged man ully at the SOULS, and
with his great strength and skill fully
brought into play, spurted again and
again and did everything that he could
to get even terms with Teemer, but to
no purpose. The champion of America
saw him in everything and went little
better. and won the race handily.
Both oarsmen took their positions at
8 O'Clock, and were at once sent away.
Gaudaur's position was on the western
shoe. Caudaur took the water very
quickly and went little to the front.
Teemer, recognizing Gaudaur's slight
lead, pulled up on him, and had nearly
closed up the lead of a length at the
quarter mile. Gaudaur was pulling
thirty-four strokes and Ieemer thirty
three. At the half-mile post, Teemer was
upon theSt. Louis man, while Gaudaur
seemed to be giving out. His left oar
failed to fully respond. and he was
rowing unevenly. Here Teemer shot
away from his rival, and at the three
quarter mile post had slight lead,
which he had increased at the mile.
Teemer lid some fast WORK to the turn,
He beat Gaudaur out, and there wa
no race home. Gaudaur was making
no effort to show his speed. The race
was a complete walk-oVer for Teemer,
and his friends at once took the train
for Portland and will go on to New
York. He sails for England in the
middle of November to meet Bubear on
the Thames.

CITY OF Mexico. October 28.-The
menacing tone of a section of the press
of California regarding the case of Leo
Baldwin, who was murdered by bandits
in the State of Durango some months
ago. attracts the attention of news
papers here. The ntiment of Mexi-
can journals is that it is unjust to
make the case one against the Mexican
government, as Baldwin was engaged
IN trade at point VIGOROUSLY unsafe
by reason of its being the haunt of
brlgands who had murdered many
foreigners and were the terror of Mex
leans as well. The band that killed
Baldwin were professional robbers, and
so far have managed to elude the
authorities.
Las NoteiaS says: The press of Cali
fornia has taken occasion to let itself
open torrent of abuse against Mexico,
and ridicuies the threats of sending
400, 900 California militia into Mexico to
punish this nation of cannibals. The
government here desires the extermina-
ton of this band of robbers as earnestly
as can foreigners resident in Durango.
1t is one of the very few surviving
bands of criminals in the country, and
has given the troops much hard work
in following it up.
